CHECK WATER SUITABILITY BEFORE SWIMMING (algae blooms have been detected in the past)! For those who love their swims raw and untamed, Cranfield Point delivers—a rugged stretch of Lough Neagh’s shoreline where the water stretches endlessly and the skies feel vast. Sheltered by ancient woodland yet open to the elements, it’s a place for bracing dips, quiet reflection, and that thrilling rush of cold water against skin. Whether you're here for a solo adventure or a sunrise plunge with friends, this wild swim spot feels like Northern Ireland’s best-kept secret—until now. Just don’t forget your towel (or your courage).
